One of the biggest questions going into Ubisoft's next entry of the Far Cry series is just what exactly is changing in Far Cry 5. It's a fair question, and while Far Cry 5 will definitely be familiar to those who've come to know the series, there are quite a few new elements that modify the core gameplay.

As part of our deep dive into Far Cry 5, I got to go roughly 15 hours of hands-on gameplay with the impressively sprawling slice of Montana, and I took note of a few big changes and several smaller ones that expand the game in new ways. While I can't talk about everything, and I'm sure there are things the I didn't spot – it's a big game, after all – you can watch our video to see everything I know is coming your way on its March 27 release.
